7 Days Rongai Route

The Rongai route which is close to the Kenyan border approaches Kilimanjaro from the northern side, the only route doing so. Slowly gaining popularity amongst climbers, it is still less crowded as compared to other routes. It has a more gradual slope and not steep, thus making it easier to ascend. It is preferred by those who want an alternative to the Marangu route which is pretty crowded during peak season. Furthermore, the northern side of the mountain receives less precipitation, thus making it easy even during the rainy season. Even if it has gradual slopes, it is a moderately difficult route and recommended for backpackers who are on their first Kilimanjaro trekking trip.

Although the scenery is not up to the mark that’s on offer on the western routes, you’ll still be traversing a wilderness area for nearly the entire way up to the top. Descent is made via the Marangu route.

Signature safari* offers Rongai as a seven day group climb or a six or seven private climb. The six day variation does not have an acclimatization day on day four at Mawenzi Tarn
